Please accept my most sincere condolences on the loss of your dad. I will keep you and yours in my prayers.
I had the honor of being Art's Pastor for the nearly 11 years I served as Pastor of The United Church. Art was, ” a class act” in every sense of the word. Art and Joanne as well as the Schupska family were true Christians in every sense of the word, devoted to family and to serving God. My wife and my wife Judy offer our deepest sympathies to the family during this time of mourning. I look forward to seeing both Art and Joanne in Heaven when God calls me home as he did Art on February 22.
